With all the major European sides within their pre-season tours, several transfers that have gone under the radar, including Ghana star Andre Ayew, Bayern Munich's acquisition of a teenage wonderkid and Andre Schurrle.

Bayern confirmed the signing of 17-year-old Alphonso Davies from Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps in an MLS record deal.
